4.9% rise in NR imports in H1 2013

摘要

Global import volume of natural rubber expanded at 4.9% in HI 2013 to 4.7 million tonnes, according to IRSG data. The rate of expansion has accelerated in Q2, driven by improving import demand in mature markets. China's import volume expanded at 28.4% in Q2, potentially taking advantage of low prices leading to a build-up in domestic inventories.
